1. DragonFest Part 5

It's been a crazy few weeks, so I'll recap a bit.

My new book baby has been in the world for about a month now. I absolutely love reading it to kids. Such fun!

On September 28 Barnes and Noble held a book event for me. It was awesome. Lots of kids and families came to celebrate dragons and books. I gave away some of these little guys:




And signed lots of copies of TBINAD.

Oh, some kids at my school asked me what it was like to write a book "without dragons"  so I decided to show them my process. I made a little film.....

Yes. I know. Too ridiculous. My pack of hounds were the total stars! Henry played the part of the green dragon. He did NOT love wearing the costume. (Watch him extract himself. Quite classy.) Jimmy played the part of the red dragon. Jimmy LOVED the costume. He didn't want to take it off. Daisy s not featured (except for her tail) because she was NOT HAVING IT. She did not want the costume on for even a second. (And Daisy is a Belgian Malinois so if she doesn't want to do something, you cannot make her. Period.)

Anyway, Dragon Fest continues!  More soon!!

hrh

PS.  I will be celebrating dragons again at the Cole Library in Carlsbad on Tuesday, November 15 at 3:30 pm in honor of Children's Picture Book Month. Hope to see you there!
